KASAPIv2 Namespace

KAS API namespace. The third-party code must use the types and interfaces from this namespace instead of depending on the mod modules.

Each API release has a version. Once the API is released to the public, its methods cannot be changed. In case of a new functionality is relased, a new version (and the namespace) will be created. The old namespace will not be removed, so the mods that were built with the old version will continue to work.

If API is needed, the depedent mod should only include a reference to KAS-API-v2.dll (version number may vary). This assembly version never changes, so the dependency will never break. It's OK to provide an API assembly with the mod since multliple API assemblies will not conflict with each other. Moreover, having "own" copy of the API ensures the mod will load even if KAS is not installed in the game. There is an ability to check if KAS is installed in the run-time (see example below).

Examples

using KASAPIv1;

public class MyModule : PartModule {
  public void RightSample() {
    if (KASAPI.isLoaded) {
      var model = KASAPI.LinkUtils.DecoupleParts(part, part.parent);
    } else {
      Debug.LogWarning("KAS is not installed");
    }
  }
}
